GLM-4.7 vs Inkling-Small
Updated September 10, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
Inkling-Small has the higher public score estimate, 59.25 versus 57.71, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.
5 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

2 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

If you already use one of these models
- Deployment change
- The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
- Quality signal
- Inkling-Small has the higher public score estimate, 59.25 versus 57.71, but the 90% score intervals overlap.
- Workload cost
- A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
- Context tradeoff
- Inkling-Small has the larger documented window (1M).
Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better, GLM-4.7 or Inkling-Small?
Inkling-Small has the higher public score estimate, 59.25 versus 57.71, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
Which is better for coding, GLM-4.7 or Inkling-Small?
GLM-4.7 leads the public coding lane, 47.7 to 43.8, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Which is better for agentic tasks, GLM-4.7 or Inkling-Small?
GLM-4.7 scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 45.3 to 36.9. GLM-4.7 is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which costs less, GLM-4.7 or Inkling-Small?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, GLM-4.7 or Inkling-Small?
Inkling-Small has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 200K.
